Zelda: Twilight Princess Delayed

Posted by Zonk on from the is-this-it? dept.

Hyrulist writes "Nintendo has announced that its biggest game of the year, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is delayed to 2006. IGN.com has the story. From the article: 'Twilight Princess, developed by Nintendo and directed by Majora's Mask overseer Eiji Aonuma, was previously set to be the company's big holiday game. In fact, analysts expected the game to be Nintendo's single greatest deterrent to consumers potentially interested in Microsoft's next-generation console, Xbox 360, which is set for a November launch. The delay leaves Nintendo without a major holiday release on GameCube."

    Does anyone remember Eiji Aonuma apologizing for The Wind Waker? Well I do. Relevant article here:

    I've played some games lately that had the potential for greatness (the most personally annoying for me being Vampire: Bloodlines) where it was obvious at some point that the developers ran out of time.

    A quote something like this was attributed to Shigeru Miyamoto "A game delayed may eventually be good, but a bad game released is bad forever." I'm glad he's taking his own advice.

    I think i just smoked a big crack rock not to post this anonymously but i didnt like any zelda game after a link through time.

    Sounds like it, given the game you mentioned doesn't exist.
